EMSELLA®
EMSELLA®
EMSELLA® is a non-invasive treatment that strengthens pelvic floor muscles and improves bladder control. This FDA-cleared procedure uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate deep pelvic muscle contractions, similar to performing thousands of Kegel exercises in a single session. The primary use of EMSELLA® is to treat urinary incontinence and weakened pelvic muscles, conditions that can result from aging, childbirth, or menopause. It is performed with the patient fully clothed, sitting on a specialized chair that delivers targeted electromagnetic stimulation to the pelvic area. The sessions last about 30 minutes, and patients can resume normal activities immediately afterwards.
EMSELLA® in Sandy, UT, is ideal for individuals experiencing stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence and those looking to improve pelvic floor strength. Most patients notice improvements after the first session, and optimal results are typically achieved after six treatments over three weeks. The effects can last several months, and maintenance sessions may be recommended to extend the benefits.
